CHANGE HOPE: Positive Solutions for the Way Forward
SUNDAY, September
17th , 9:30-10:15 a.m.
Join us on the third Sunday in September at Wildflower Church, 1314
E. Oltorf St., for the kick-off of our new Climate Education series! We will look at the most promising and effective pathways forward to a viable climate for planet Earth. The amount of greenhouse gases already emitted is beyond what earth can withstand without long-term damage to life support functions. These classes will examine some of the top pathways to healing our earth, based on “Project Drawdown” (see here) and other sources, and will conclude with a class on positive climate change communication. Expect videos or slides, handouts, and ample discussion time--discussion can continue after 10:15, outdoors or next door at Opal Divine's. We meet in the Faith Parlor, across the open space from the Sanctuary.
